WEEKEND RUNAROUNDNEW TRAINING ARRANGEMENTS 6.30pmFrom Monday evening next 26th we will be moving the speedwork training to Midleton College Cricket Field. This is situated at the back of Midleton Hospital and has a very good surface . There is also loads of space there to run around if you want an easy session.This is open to all our members at whatever level. If you want to improve you need to do speed work and it is always better not to do it on the road all the time as this can lead to injury.There will be new special sessions for 8-9 min ( or slightly above or below) milers which will be taken by John Dunphy so if you really want to improve here is your chance. There is no better pacer around than John as can be seen from the demand on his services by race organisers.If you have any problem finding the place give me a call 0872403940 or park in Supervalue and turn left and follow the diversion signs its only a 2 min jog from the car park.ARDMORE 5Emmet Ronan had a fantastic run on Friday evening in Ardmore coming home in a time of 29.15 which was 45 sec faster than his time there last year. Just goes to show all the hard Winter work pays off. Not only that but he took 1st Taurus as well. For those not familiar with this race it is run under male and female star signs with prizes for the first under each sign.

Ballyandreen 5

LADIES GO ALL THE WAY AND MAKE HISTORY

Last night in Ballyandreen saw some
amazing running by many of our members especially our ladies. Karen Grant won
the ladies race in a time of 31.13 This is the first ladies winner we had since
the first race when Mary Dunne (O'Keeffe ) won it in 1981. Our ladies Karen
Grant, Anna Doris and Helen Gilroy took 1St Team with 15 pts from St Finbarrs
2nd 18pts and EagleAC 3rd 30pts. Whilst many feared the Beast Of
Ballyandreen there were lots of complaints afterwards about the Bitch Of
Ballyandreen (the hill before the beast).

We had way too many there to go into
all the individual successes but some people had brilliant runs. Our first man
home in a great time was Paul Spiteri followed by John Dunphythen Karen Grant followed by Eugene McCarthy.
Mike Dolphin out for a tempo run with Helen Gilroy had great runs.

Many others had fantastic runs
including the ever improving Louise Barry and an absolutely brilliant run was
had by Rayleen Dolphin who got a new PB and knocked seven minutes off last year’s
time. Fionan O’hAodain also had a great run knocking almost two mins off his PB
Christopher McCarthy also had a super run. Don Ryan constantly improving got another PB. and Fergal O'Meara showed his unused marathon training is paying off the dividends with a great run. Great also to see Martha McNamara back amongst the prize winners.

A big well done must go to the ladies
from last Sept. Beginners Group who took on the Beast for the first time. Paula
O’Sullivan. Emer O’Doherty, Helen Kenny and Sarah Bermingham.UPDATEVickie Cleary had a fantastic run in Ballyandreen running a great time of 37.43 which was a new PB and is especially amazing considering the work she put in to the Emer Casey Race last weekend.Individual Prize WinnersKaren Grant 1st LadyAnna Doris 2nd O/40Helen Gilroy 1st O/45Margaret Jones 2nd O/45Martha McNamara 3rd O/50Neilus Aherne 1st O/55RequestIf you got a PB or had a great or bad run or if your friend or training partner got PBs etc please let the blog. know. I cannot possibly know everyone's PBs etc. and rather than moaning about it on Facebook or at training that achievements are not being mentioned or honoured all you have to do is send it in.Email mdtacinfo@gmail.comThe blog is and has always been delighted to receive submissions but is dependent on the information it receives.also if you are NOT a member of Midleton AC (you are always welcome to join) Please do not enter the race as Midleton AC as this messes up the results especially when there are teams etc involved. State clearly who you are with or unattached etc.Thanks.

1 Mile Race ( from Andre Brodkorb )

Roger Bannister and the 60thanniversary of his first sub-four-minute mile were widely covered in the media a few weeks ago. Did you ever wonder how fast you could cover one mile? Well, I am keen to know! Therefore, I intend to organise an informal 1 mile road race in Midleton.

Date: Thursday 5thJune

Course: Start at the 2 mile mark, finish at the 1 mile mark of the Midleton 5 mile course

Time: 8pm, traffic should be calmer around that time

We can meet at7.30pmat the 1 mile mark, plenty of space to leave your car, bike, water bottles etc. do a good warm-up run to the 2 mile mark and some stretching. We will need two cars (or bikes), one in front and one at the back – volunteers needed! I created a doodle counter to get an indication of how many will turn up on the night, just follow the instructions herehttp://doodle.com/n5aq94y5yufabbt5

This will be an unofficial race, we can call it a training event for Midleton AC members to keep numbers under control.

Formed in 1966 Midleton Athletic Club is one of the few clubs in the Cork area that has both a juvenile section and a senior section as well. This blog will deal with the senior section. The senior section has a wide variety of members ranging from members in mid seventies to just out of juvenile. It is proud to boast that two of our members represented Ireland in the Olympic Games. Whilst most members nowadays seem to favour road running over the complete variety of distances from 3Km to marathon and beyond also X Country and track and field as well. There is an active social side to the club. Anyone wishing to join is welcome to try out for a session before committing to the club. The club trains on Mondays from 6pm in the Midleton College Cricket Field and on Wednesdays @ 7 pm in the Community Centre ( C2 5KM meet @6.30). Other group runs are organised amongst members during the week. New members are welcome anytime.
